Amazing Resource for Twitter Chats
So I’m thinking, this will be the future of twitter.
Somebody took the effort to create a google doc with over 530 weekly twitter chats and schedules. If the interest graph is the next phase in new media (i.e. connecting with strangers with similar interests) I think these chats are a huge start.
After my experience w/ pivot and social week I see the benefit of twitter not as catching up with people you already know, but reaching out to strangers who are on your same wavelength about certain topics. It’s really about enhancing the experience at events.
We had 1 girl during pivot who streamed both days and was even more active on Twitter than most people sitting in the seats. She made real knowledge-based connections with people without being there.
It’s like Adam Duritz said, don’t look at all of this social media as a technologically irrelevant afterthought but think of it like you would anthropology. We are seeing relationships form between people in interesting ways and now have the data to better understand this.
